After cooking your rice, transfer it into the Ohitsu to store. The Sawara wood naturally absorbs excess moisture, keeping rice fresh. After each use, wash the container with hot water to remove all food particles. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent cracking and damage.

Clean the Ohitsu thoroughly with hot water after each use, avoiding harsh detergents. Wipe with a dry cloth and dry in a cool, ventilated space away from direct sunlight. If sticky yellow resin appears, it can be safely removed using vinegar or sterilizing alcohol. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent wood shrinkage and damage to copper ornamentation.
